The new owner must, within 30 days of purchasing, return the passport to the Society together with details of the name and address of the new owner.
Required Documents
When selling a Highland Pony, ownership transfer must happen immediately upon sale completion. Submit the following:
- Completed transfer form (signed by both seller and buyer)
- Endorsed Registration Certificate (signed on reverse)
- Passport
- Appropriate fee payment

Late Transfers

Special Circumstances
Pony in Transit
If another individual transports the pony, the passport should accompany the animal. Submit the Registration Certificate, transfer form, and fee to HPS with a note indicating the passport will follow upon arrival.
Gelding Conversions
No charge applies to converting registered colts to geldings. Simply notify the Society and return the passport for updating.
Loan Transfers
Mares loaned for breeding require completion of a loan transfer form, signed by both lender and borrower. This must be completed before any offspring can be registered under the borrower's prefix.
